The longest U.S. government shutdown in history has created travel havoc as flight cancellations and delays have hit 40 airports across the country. With the Las Vegas Formula 1 Grand Prix next week, that could dampen attendance.

While the Senate passed a continuing resolution to reopen the government, the ability to fully fund it must now pass the House before heading to the White House to be signed. House Speaker Mike Johnson has said that he plans to call a vote on Wednesday, meaning the earliest President Trump may sign the measure would be late that evening or early Thursday morning.

While the government may see funds begin to flow again, don’t expect travel headaches to disappear.

According to Airlines for America (A4A), the trade association for the leading U.S. airlines, both passenger and cargo carriers, staffing issues disrupted 5.2 million airline passengers A4A tracks from Oct. 1 through Nov. 9. Analysis of FAA delay data shows that controller staffing issues contributed to 61% of National Airspace System (NAS) delay minutes from Nov. 7-9—up from 47% in the first six days of November, 16% in October and 5% in the first nine months of 2025.

In a statement on Monday, A4A noted that while they commended the Senate for voting to open the government, delays and cancellations would likely continue.

“Airlines’ reduced flight schedules cannot immediately bounce back to full capacity right after the government reopens, said Airlines for America. “It will take time, and there will be residual effects for days. With the Thanksgiving travel period beginning next week and the busy shipping season around the corner, the time to act is now to help mitigate any further impacts to Americans.”

For Formula 1, the Las Vegas Grand Prix race week begins with Practice Sessions 1 and 2 on November 20, qualifying on November 21, and the race on the evening of Saturday, November 22 (8 pm local start time).

Staffing issues at Las Vegas’ Harry Reid airport have already caused cancellations and delays. At midafternoon on Monday, there were 65 cancellations and 424 delays at Harry Reid. Of those, 27 cancellations and 216 delays occurred on Southwest Airlines, which is Las Vegas’ busiest commercial airline.

While last-minute travel plans may be hit, it’s possible that fans who have already purchased airline and hotel accommodations may soldier on through the pains but still attempt to make the race. According to Mark Wang, CEO of Hilton Grand Vacation, the Elera Hotel, which sits just ahead of the start/finish area and hosts a luxury suite package of $3,000 for the three-day race weekend, has all 1,600 of its rooms sold out.

“We have strong demand for this year’s race.”

Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile

The post Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

(Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images) Getty Images St. Louis Cardinals lifer Adam Wainwright is a pretty easygoing guy, and not unlikely to talk with you about baseball traditions and barbecue, or even share a joke. That personality came out last week during our Zoom call when I mentioned for the first time that I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. He responded to the mention of my fandom, “So far, I don’t think this interview is going very well.” Yet, Wainwright will return to Busch Stadium on September 19 on a more serious note, this time to honor another former Cardinal and friend, the late Darryl Kile. Wainwright will take the mound not as a starting pitcher, but to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Joining him on the mound will be Kile’s daughter, Sierra, as the two help launch a new program called Playing with Heart. “Darryl’s passing was a reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate, even against elite athletes in peak physical shape,” Wainwright said. “This program is about helping people recognize the risks, take action, and hopefully save lives.” Wainwright, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals as a starting pitcher from 2005 to 2023, aims to merge the essence of baseball tradition with a crucial message about heart health. Kile, a beloved pitcher for the Cardinals, tragically passed away in 2002 at the age of 33 as a result of early-onset heart disease. His sudden death shook the baseball world and left a lasting impact on teammates, fans, and especially his family. Now, more than two decades later, Sierra Kile is stepping forward with Wainwright to…

The Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, is expected to begin slashing interest rates on Wednesday, with analysts expecting a 25 basis point (BPS) cut and a boost to risk asset prices in the long term.Crypto prices are strongly correlated with liquidity cycles, Coin Bureau founder and market analyst Nic Puckrin said. However, while lower interest rates tend to raise asset prices long-term, Puckrin warned of a short-term price correction.  “The main risk is that the move is already priced in, Puckrin said, adding, “hope is high and there’s a big chance of a ‘sell the news’ pullback. When that happens, speculative corners, memecoins in particular, are most vulnerable.”Read more
